Operating Instructions
Setting/Changing the Code
The Smith & Locke Push-Button Lock uses a mechanical code system. The default code is typically set at the factory or can be found in the specific instructions included with your lock. To change the code:
- Locate the code changing mechanism on the back of the front plate (usually small pins or screws corresponding to each button).
- Using a small tool (e.g., screwdriver), rotate the pins for the desired code numbers to the "ON" position and others to the "OFF" position.
- Ensure the new code is memorable but not easily guessable. Test the code before closing the door.
Opening the Lock
- Enter your programmed code by pressing the correct buttons in any order.
- Rotate the turn knob to retract the latch.
- The lock also features a Key Unlock function, allowing entry with a physical key if provided.
Closing the Lock
Simply close the door. The latch will automatically engage, securing the door. No code entry is required to close the door from the inside.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your lock.
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the lock with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the latch bolt and internal moving parts to ensure smooth operation. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Check Fixings: Periodically check that all screws and fixings are tight. Retighten if necessary to prevent wobbling or misalignment.
